Morreale House Added to National Historic Register

Published on January 24, 2014

Morreale House, 1130 N. Cascade Ave., has served as a home for various families, a rental property, and currently, as the office for CC’s summer programs. As of Dec. 3, it’s officially a significant historic place. The National Register of Historic Places now includes the building formally known as the Lindley-Johnson-Vanderhoof House, named for its previous owners.

Pueblo contractor William E.G. Fraser designed and built the Queen Anne-style home for George E. Lindley and his wife, Nellie; it was completed in 1892. Its most famous resident over the years was Earl “Dutch” Clark, a standout on CC’s football, basketball, baseball, and track teams. Clark became Colorado’s first All-American football player in 1928.

The house joins 14 other CC properties on the state and national registers. To learn more about other historic CC structures, go to www2.coloradocollege.edu/welcome/walkingtour/thebuildingof.php.
